IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s
manual carefully and completely
before trying to assemble, operate,
or service this fireplace. Improper
use of this fireplace can cause seri-
ous injury or death from burns, fire,
explosion, electrical shock, and
carbon monoxide poisoning.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs
of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If
you have these signs, the fireplace may not
be working properly. Get fresh air at once!
Have fireplace serviced. Some people are
more affected by carbon monoxide than oth-
ers. These include pregnant women, people
with heart or lung disease or anemia, those
under the influence of alcohol, and those at
high altitudes.
Natural and Propane/LP Gas: Natural and
propane/LP gases are odorless. An odor-mak-
ing agent is added to these gases. The odor
helps you detect a gas leak. However, the
odor added to the gas can fade. Gas may be
present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all
warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It
is your guide to safe and proper operation of
this fireplace.
